hello, I was going to make my first purchase from sunsky..
which option is better for shipping from sunsky? the cheapest options shown are "epacket" and "yanwen express", with the former being a bit cheaper

and.. the website is "sunsky-online.com" right? just confirming because its being referred to as just 'sunsky' here

Lot of people here are saying that shipping via yanwen doesn't attract customs but it's upto you

If I'm to get a mini pc from China, what would be the customs cost?

No one can tell, but the maximum customs cost can be half the total cost of your product, but the twist is, depending upon the custom officer, if he think that the actual value of item is more than what you have paid or listed, he will use his own imaginary value that he sees fit and then the maximum customs can be half of that.

This is the worst case scenario.

not really, its fixed price, if you 40k item is under 1kg of weight, its still only 1600, sounds more than fair to me

That's fair too but I wouldn't order something so expensive from such a small company. If there's any issues I'll be stuck with no where to go. Sites like Ebay have buyer protection.

To be fair they haven't lost anyones parcel so far. Usually I just order directly from taobao or via a seller's whatsapp with alipay and for the most part, chinese couriers never mess up a delivery as long as the address is correct. Once the parcel is delivered at their warehouse, liability falls on them.

Same goes for their other warehouses too. Albeit I haven't had much of anything to order from the US as it seems half of the items being sold there are dropshipped items from china

Did you get your package? Customs amount charged?

Not yet. It's been 18days and it departed (my guess) China a day or two ago. Going crazy slow after they asked multiple times for Aadhaar card. First on their site then via WhatsApp and email. Whole thing is very drawn out. What I ordered wasn't urgent so it's fine. But I don't expect it for another week atleast. So you could say it's taking Yanwen about a month to deliver.

Also ordered something from sunsky with yanwen as they suggested, have been 12 days and I think it's not even in India yet. Don't really understand what their tracking says. Hopefully no custom charges.

Mine is not in India either
Did they ask for docs? Dont send them masked aadhar. Customs doesnt accept Masked aadhar, which is so stupid.
 
I ordered on 14th on Sunsky and this is the current status:

Last time, it took them 11-12 days to deliver. So yeah, there is some delay going on.
